Gottlieb have previously announced their long-awaited debut album, The Far Fallen Fruit, will be released on the 1st May via Quiet Panic Records. The record marks a defining statement from the Los Angeles based anarcho-punk band: furious, self-interrogating, and unflinchingly political. The band have now shared the video for the album’s lead single, Pipe Bomb, that serves as both the thesis statement for the album and a blunt reflection of the moment it was written.
“This was written at a time when I was experiencing the contraction of the TV industry. I was alongside my peers on strike, watching our dreams die in a business suffocated by billion-dollar deals. It’s a commentary on the commodification of workers across industries, where our lifelong wellbeing amounts to an accounting error. That kind of disenfranchisement is treated as normal, like white supremacy or a homemade bomb. It’s a cheap investment made from standard household ingredients. Our generation is in an antagonistic, mutually destructive relationship with the United States of America. The American Ideal has crumbled, and the American Dream is something we’ve been forced to reject, even while hoping it could still be recovered. This album is dedicated to those who are planting better trees, whose shade they’ll never rest beneath“ (vocalist Andrew Pescara)
